Chapter 7 - Meeting Kaijin

After all the commotion the guards, had come and put me, Rimuru, and our supposed to be guide in jail with Gobta sleeping. I say "I'm sorry Rimuru I tried to prevent this, but those idiots just didn't take the hint."

Rimuru: "It's ok Selene but if you would have told me, I could have helped and found a solution to solve it with you."

Sitting on my hind legs "but Rimuru it was such a trivial thing, that I thought that if I had transformed into my human body with the precaution of me letting out my aura, they would had just ignored us."

Rimuru: With most people that would work Selene, but with idiots like them or with other's some will still try and provoke us, because they feel that they need to prove themselves. And yes, your human form does help to prevent cases like that, but your aura doesn't change the only way for people or monsters to know you're a monster is by your aura. If you didn't let some of it out, some might not have found out. And if there was a way to mask it completely it could have been different. Also, no matter how small it is if you know something that involves us and the village, I want you to tell me ok! And we'll figure it out together after all you are the protector for, I handle the leading of our village making us partners in crime" letting a smile show.

Kaido: "Ok, I have gotten all the witness reports, so now I just need you guys to tell us your part."

Replying to what he said, "well me and my big brother were standing in line for your guards to check us when those...." stopping when I hear "mhmm" from when Rimuru cleared his throat to hint at me. Chosen my words more carefully "those adventurers that'd tried to provoke us and we wanted to give them a warning but accidentally over did it."

Kaido: "Mhmm, I see anything else?"

Rimuru: "That's all really sorry about the commotion we caused."

Kaido: "Well your report matches that of what the witness had to say being that you are a slime, along with being a wolve imitating being a human along with a goblin. They probably thought you were easy prey this time...."

Other soldier: "Captain! big trouble! there was an armorsaurus found in the mines."

Kaido: "WHAT! what about the suppression Force?"

Other soldiers: "They're already enroute but the thing is, Garm and his brothers were deep in the mines gathering magic ore and they were hurt badly!"

Kaido: "Do we have any potions?"

Other soldiers: "We don't have enough we have already given them all to the war preparation."

Kaido: "Those guys are like brothers to me, w-we can't wait and waste time."

Understanding the situation "Mr... MR..." tick.

Kaido: "Start looking for potions! gather all the potions that are left!"

Being pissed off by him ignoring me "HEY! IF YOU DON'T LISTEN, I'LL HOWEL."

Kaido: Turning around "what is it? we're in a hurry here."

Rimuru: "Sorry for my Imoto attitude but she was trying to get your attention to show you that we have enough healing potion for you."

Kaido: "Mhm? how did that get in there!? weren't you just inside of the barrel!?"

Rimuru: "Now...now...there's no time for that, it's the best healing potion around. You can drink it, or apply it directly, for now why don't you try it."

Getting even more annoyed "can we hurry this along I don't like being locked in a cage like an animal."

Kaido: "Mhm."

Rimuru: "Selene, I know no one likes to be behind bars but you don't have to be rude."

Kaido: Taking out my keys and unlocking the cell door to take the barrel.

Other soldier: "Captain you're going to trust the word of monsters!?"

Kaido: "We have no time..." putting the barrel lid on and turning to leave but I say, "if this saves my friends then I'll take you to my brother who's one of the best artisans in the city of Moria."

Laying down "I'll hold you to that" when he laughs a little before closing the cell door and running off holding the barrel on his shoulder.

Rimuru: "He really cares for his subordinates."

(30 minutes later)

After playing around with his sticky thread and also hanging Gobta upside down, Kaido had come back with his friends.

Kaido: "You saved them thank you!"

Garm: "I heard it was you that gave us the potion, thank you!"

Rimuru: "Don't mention it."

2 Brother: "You see my arm was nearly ripped off, even if I had survived it would have made me lose my job THANK YOU!"

Rimuru: "Your welcome."

Silent brother: "Mhmm...mhmm..."

Rimuru: "Say something!"

2 Brother: "Really! Thank you so much."

Garm: "We owe you one!"

Rimuru: "Are we free now."

Kaido: "Of course!"

(5 minutes later)

Sitting on the couch eating some of the food Kaido had gotten for us "Thanks for the food" being that I'm back in my human form to eat.

Kaido: "No problem, I have never seen a potion like that before, it won't be enough saying thank you but if you ever need anything just ask me."

Finishing the food with Rimuru not being able to eat his share I ate it on his behalf before saying "just remember your promise to us and that is good enough for me" with a smile gracing my lips.

Rimuru: "That's right after all we only need artisans to come and help with our village building shelters and clothes."

Kaido: "If that's all just leave it to me" hitting my chest while I have a smirk on my face.

(On the way to the blacksmith shop)

Looking around Moria seeing how advance it was "hey Rimuru their city is really amazing isn't...it? Its way more advanced than ours, right?" smiling at him when our eyes lock on to each other.

Rimuru: "What would you expect from dwarves!"

Kaido: "This way Selene and Rimuru."

(At the store)

Rimuru: "Wow, look at that armor! you can tell the work that went into it."

Seeing a sword thats glowing from being made with magic ore "Hey Rimuru, look at the sword its glowing. From it being made with magic ore!"

Rimuru: "It's a sword that was forged to be a magic sword the blacksmith must be amazing!"

Kaido: "That sword maker is the one we're going to see."

(The blacksmith shop)

Kaido: "Hey bro we're coming in."

Rimuru: Bro?

Kaijin: "Kaido? is that you? wait a minute."

Kaido: "Ahh, sure Rimuru this is my brother Kaijin. Despite how the shop looks he's the best blacksmith in the dwarven nation."

Garm:"Oh!"

Seeing the three brothers coming in carrying things in their arms to have shock looks on their faces when they saw us "hey Garm, Dord and Myrd."

Kaijin: "Mhmm?" A slime and a wolve? a friend of you boys?

Garm: "Kaijin! we told you about the slime and his friend that saved us!"

Kaijin: "Oh!" I put down the hammer and my goggles while I sit in front of them, I bow saying "Thank you for saving them."

Smiling at them while I wave their thanks off to show that it wasn't need for them to be "it's no problem at all, I'm glad they're ok."

Rimuru: "Right! it was nothing or was it he-he..."

Kaijin: Leaning forward "so what is that I can do for you?"

Hearing his question I answer before Rimuru "well we are looking for artisans that can help with building shelters for the village and also clothes."

Kaijin: "I see... sorry but at the moment I can't help I'm pretty backed up at the moment, thanks to some idiot numb skull minister putting in an impossible order."

Alreadying knowing his problem I "what if we can help you with your situation? and by giving you the material that you had the three brothers go looking for in the mines earlier."

Kaijin: "Mhmm?"

Rimuru: "Selene? how are we going too? ...ahh, wait it has to do with how you know that threats are coming and other things."

Turning towards him with a small smile while my eyes are closed "Mhmm, that's why I know we can help him with his problem."

Kaijin: "And...? how are you two going to help even with what even Garm, Dord, and Myrd couldn't? being that they weren't able to get enough of what I needed" raising an eyebrow.

I look at Rimuru and say, "don you have magic ore from back then."

Rimuru: "Oh! that's what he needs" I take out the magic ore that I had stored away.
